Today, Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor announced she will be leaving the court after 24 terms. This turn of events, the first Court vacancy in 11 years, opens the door for the Bush administration to appoint its first Supreme Court nominee. No doubt we are in for a bloody confirmation battle, as Bush has shown time and time again that he is unable to do anything to benefit the majority of the American people. It is extremely probable that he will appoint a nominee who will support turning back Court rulings that have guaranteed rights to women, workers, and minorities. It is essential that we follow these proceedings as they are anticipated to begin next week. There is no fucking way we can stand by and let Bush pack this Court with such closed-minded individuals. Call your Senator, write a letter to the editor of a newspaper, talk to your peers ... get loud - let's make some fucking noise and let people know that we won't sit idly by while these scurvy bastards try to pull the hood over our heads. The dark clouds are looming on the horizon - it will certainly be interesting ... to say the least.
